This sure looks like DIO. Just less feminine.

Opposites clash, but as we all know, love can bloom on the battlefield.

If I knew that I'd clearly not be reacting to it like I didn't. Perhaps phrasing this little bit of trivia like a question is not such a great display though? Comes off kind of passive aggressive ? Thank you though ?

Sorry, I'm just mind-boggled that someone is up to date on this long-running comic without having browsed the rest of this artist's works.

I wasn't aware that there is a rule to read all of an artist's works the moment you touch one of them. Sounds like some ancient curse... or OCD.

When her friends said all these bad things about Daidou and made her all suspicious I expected the punchline to be that they were totally wrong.
Guess I was wrong. That's one half-assed reason to date someone.

... You do realize that Daidou has her own series, that we've already seen Tsubomi dump her over this there (just not in so much detail), and that all they said about her was pretty much shown/explained in said other series, right?

This is exactly the kind of thing I want from a one-shot. This dance like balance act is just so enjoyable~
Tsunderes are one of my many weaknesses too, so Old Hag Meg's got me laughing and rooting for her all the way.

This artist can draw really cute cats too.

...and suddenly I miss the censor bars.

^I think those are two different events in the coffee shop, but it's been a while.

@risingstar3110 That's cute and all, but you also pulled that outta your butt. "Need to have sex" my ass lol
Their "romantic chemistry" is based solely around fanservice, even in the manga. They have an actual interesting sibling dynamic, but I assume we are talking about the chemistry that leads to the pairing no? Not everyone who has a deep connection has romantic feelings, when will people get that?

@rokfer Pff, roughly 80% of the manga would disagree. It's okay if you don't like Miyu or don't want her to be with Illya (I only said if you have to ship them, she is the more likely choice), but don't deny the obvious chemistry between them and how the mangaka actively portrays Miyu's growing dependance and connection with Illya.

This is all quite pointless anyway, because both Illya and Kuro are brocons who love Shirou lol

^Don't forget though, that Hibike Euphonium is yuri-bait. It actively pushes that subtext to make it feel ambiguous, but if you know the source material, you know that it doesn't matter. You can point at genuine chemistry and implied feelings all you want, but the author ultimately decides what's truly going on.
Now this movie is a case entirely different, but your generalization bugs me. Especially the unecessary comment about straight people not getting it. The subtext is obvious no matter what sexual orientation you are, but doubts are justified considering the context however.

Did I stumble into the censor bar enthusiast reunion or something? My mouse has to run slalom through these comments so I won't accidentally uncover a horrible spoiler.

It's good to hear that the next chapter delivers tho! A friend told me that she cried when reading the raws, so that's a thing.

Also, YagaKimi stage play confirmed for May

Let's hope it's better than the Spider-man musical.

^One of the previous pics confirmed that they aren't living together. Long-hair asked short-hair if she can come over to her place.

^Lolicon and polyamory? You're just brimming with interests.

I honestly don't know who thought Sayaka was actually doing something wrong. She may be the obstacle from one point of view, but her actions are completely legitimate and deserved.

Starting from chapter 34 the title "Eventually, I Will Become You" (the literal translation of "Yagate Kimi ni Naru") begins to come true and ... the story will repeat.
What do you think?

I assume you don't mean a literal repeat of events, but rather a similarity in theme?
There is definitely something to be said about mirroring previous events and themes in a profound way, but to me it appears that Yuu simply has reached the same place as Touko now, while Touko is at the brink of moving past that.

The only way to move past this hurdle is together however.

So if I'm not mistaken, they were going to mash muffins in the first chapter, but now it feels like Kazuki never touched Hime before? Did they just reset the date timer to zero because of the discovery, so it will take another 6 months till they are ready? lol

FRIENDSHIP WINS

No need for great analyses. This was a pay off chapter and I thoroughly enjoyed it~

One if the things I’ve always thought odd about society was the idea that physical violence is never ok, but verbal “violence” is. In this example the teachers words could potentially create an emotional scar that could take years to heal, while his bruise will heal in a week. Not to mention how high Japan’s suicide rate is. A large chunk of the cause is probably due to bullying. The main issue with bullying isn’t the physical pain, but rather the emotional and mental pain.
You also have to think about how to resolve an issue without violence, you need the wit and influence to do so, and if you don’t then all that’s left is violence.

...as for this. The ideal case is not to retaliate at all. You need to understand when you are in no position to counter-attack. We already discussed the alternatives she should have taken.

Yet the saying holds true "Sticks and stones break my bones, but words can never hurt me". It's true that continous verbal abuse or the words of someone close can have a strong painful effect, but to have such a remark by a stranger without a clue hurt you deeply, you already must be quite insecure. Which Kurokawa clearly seemed to be, but as this chapter showed, isn't anymore.
Words you can ignore, blend out or run away from. Physical pain, not so much. It's also way more obvious, so it can be traced back and get you into trouble easier than verbal attacks.

I was surprised that the intro pages also seemed to follow the mother Peach theory, but maybe that's just all princess designs being rather similar. At least I'm plently sure Luigi isn't the father lol

That aside, this was adorable. Peach might have moved a bit too fast, but after 80+ kidnappings you just want an emotional anchor.
I never really considered how lonely Rosie/Roze must have been growing up with only the Lumas, being forced to act like a mother from early on.

For some reason it's really funny to me when "localizers" stubbornly insist on needlessly changing the characters' names when "localizing" into English. Oh, did I say funny? I meant angering.

That aside, Eromame's return was worth waiting for. Thanks for your work - and for preserving the actual original names, Shousanki.

You can make that argument before it's localized, not after. 99% of English speaking children grew up with "Rosalina" and "Luma". The Japanese won't read these translations, so this helps literally nobody.

Now I'm not complaining about the translation, goodness gracious, it's just that the idea not to go with the localized names is relatively twisted. It's not like the Mario games are obscure manga that were fan-translated first and then localized years later with changed names. This stuff was around day 1. This choice causes mild confusion at best.

Actually i'm reading that series, i like it a lot...and yes, i admit it, i'm a men but i hate bisexual stories (with the respect that deserve those people), in the case for example "father, brother, teacher, friend, etc." They don't annoy me , i just hate that one or both of the MAIN characters had in the past a relationship with a men (more if they had a sexual experience), but with the other characters i really doesn't care...yeah, which the mens are in a story made it realistic, that don't annoy me, just that they interfiere in the relationship, or the main characters had experiment with them in the past...
An example of my what my taste is like, read Mage and Demon Queen...besides the comedy and fantasy, that is exactly what kind of stories i like, or Blooming Sequence...

Alrighty then. A purist to the bone. That's what fiction is for I suppose. Might be a tad closeminded to judge a character on having experience with guys, if that literally doesn't factor into her relationship with the female love interest, but you do you.

I think we went off-topic far enough now. This story won't go het any time soon at least.

^^Looking too much into things is my habit. Especially if it's my empty wallet.

Just to make sure that I'm at least adjacent to the same dimension as everyone else: this story takes place in a world (as we have seen it so far) where absolutely no men exist, right?

That appears to be the case. Unless this becomes a Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles-esque multiverse adventure, I'd say it's fairly safe to be that way. Just look out for blue-eyed magicians and blackclad swordsmen to be sure.

Thanks...anyway, i decide to not read this story, i preferred read something like Tadokoro-san, with drama like Cross Heart or mayor stories that any of the main characters hasn't experiment nothing with a men before, i like the pure stories and good drama without men interfiering...just with the main characters, with the others i don't care

Well I can't tell you what to like, but dang, you must have some issues with the male population. Guys are a normal part of everyday life and excluding them from the story usually is just a cheap cop-out. Aside from family (obviously all characters tend to have a father), having close friends be boys shouldn't hurt. Having a former male lover isn't gonna "taint" the girl, that's just judgemental and cruel towards bisexual girls.
If you need the 100% yuri delusion injected to your veins tho, go ahead. If you haven't read AnoKiss yet, that one conveniently forgot men exist, so it would suit your tastes.
